Biography
The man with the most famous (or should we say infamous?) clipboard in television, he first made his name as a comedy writer, often in partnership with Frank Muir.
In 2006, he announced his retirement from television - bringing to an end the phenomenon of an 84-year old getting primetime slots on ITV.
Trivia
Of course in later years his biggest gig was the irregular out-takes showcase It'll Be Alright On The Night, which was usually good for some gameshow-related amusement. Norden did occasionally (and quite rightly, wethinks) show clips of his own on-screen gaffes, as Terry Wogan also did of his own fluffs on the BBC equivalent, 'Auntie's Bloomers'.
